ByJcbnMOne
United Press International
WASHINGTON President Carter's
firing of Philadelphia VS. attorney
David Marston began as a normal
replacement of a Republican with a
Democrat and grew into a political
donnybrook.
The Republicans, invoking the
Watergate scandal, all but accuse
Carter of trying to head off an in-vestigation
of corruption.
Speaker Thomas O'Neill, a
Democrat, responds that Marston was
a " Republican political animal" who
" went in there with viciousness in his
heart. . . to get Democrats."
Many politicians are lawyers, so it's
common to see a new set of U. S. at-torneys
come in with a new president.
Investigating the opposition is part of
the deal.
Republican U. S. Attorney Jim
Thompson prosecuted friends cf
Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley. He
later ran for governor and won.
In Baltimore, U. S. Attorney George
Beall investigated Democrats like
Baltimore County Executive W. Dale
Anderson and Gov. Marvin MandeL He
also found evidence that led to the
resignation of Republican Vice
President Spiro Agnew in the face of a
tax evasion charge.
Marston made cases against
powerful Pennsylvania Democrats like
state Sen. Henry Cianfrani, who
pleaded guilty to more than 100 counts
of obstruction of justice, bribery and
conspiracy charges. Then, Marston
picked new targets: Reps. Joshua
Eilberg and Daniel Flood, both
Democrats. --- -
It's known that on Nov. 4, Eilberg
called Carter and asked him to " ex-pedite"
a replacement. The president
passed the message to Attorney
General Griffin Bell, who fired Marston
last Friday.
At least two more firings were called

From our wire services
KANSAS CITY Fire raged
through the historic Coates House, a
19th century luxury hotel ence
visited by presidents, killing more
than a dozen residents before dawn
Saturday and forcing scores of
persons to flee barefoot and shirtless
into bitter cold.
Police and firemen found at least
13 bodies, but feared there could be
as many as 30 more victims in the
- r- uins.
Many persons, including some of
the victims, leaped from the upper
floors of the six- stor- y, red brick
hotel where President Graver
Cleveland once stayed on his
honeymoon.
" Some people jumped, and some
were killed from the result of their
jump," said police Sgt. Charles
Johnston.
" I jumped out the window," said
Raymond Kelly, 33, who had lived at
the hotel, an historic landmark used
primarily as a residential facility by
transients and elderly Kansas
Citians. " Two other people jumped
from where I did.
" They went all the way down,"
Kelly said. " We didn't have no
choice jump or be burned. I
jumped from the fourth floor on a
comer where the fire started. I
jumped to a fireman, and he caught
me.
" The fire was in my room. I woke
up and saw fire coming through my
door. I came out with one pair of
pants. Everything I have is gone."
But Kelly said, " I call myself
lucky. I jumped and I made it Two
other people jumped and missed."

Sadat plans
U. S. visit
with Carter
N. Y. Times Service
WASHINGTON President Carter
has invited President Anwar Sadat to
Washington next weekend for detailed
discussions of the next steps in the
Middle East negotiations. He also will
urge the Egyptian leader to avoid
repetition of such moves as the abrupt
recall of Egypt's delegation from the
peace talks in Jerusalem 10 days ago.
Administration officials reported
Saturday that Carter, Secretary of
State Cyrus Vance and other top aides
want a long, relaxed series of talks with
Sadat to confirm Egypt is willing to
stick with the drawn- ou- t, intricate
negotiations necessary to arrange a
Mideast settlement.
Sadat's visit was announced Satur-day
in Washington and Cairo.
A White House statement said the
purpose of the meetings is to " hold an
extensive review of the progress that
has been made in the Arab- Israe- li
negotiations and of how they might
proceed effectively toward the common
objective of a comprehensive peace in
the Middle East."
Sadat and his entourage are expected
to arrive in Washington Friday,
proceeding immediately to Camp
David for talks with Carter during the
next two days.
State Department officials expect
Sadat to spend additional days in the
United States before flying to Western
Europe. Sadat wants to explain Egypt's
Jan. 18 pull out from the Jerusalem
ministers' meeting to as many world
leaders as possible, Egyptian officials
said.
The decision occurred without ad-vance
warning while Vance
represented the United States in talks
in Jerusalem with Foreign Minister
Moshe Dyan of Israel and Foreign.
Minister Mohammed Kamel of Egypt,
producing surprise and unhappiness in
the Carter administration.
Administration officials said the de-cision
to invite Sadat was made by
Carter Monday night during a meeting
with Vance, Vice President Walter
Mondale and Zbigniew Brzezinski, na-tional
security affairs adviser.
Carter reportedly wants to reiterate
that the United States remains a strong
supporter of Egypt but also wants to
discuss the necessity of adhering to
agreed procedures and not abruptly
changing plans as Sadat did in recalling
his delegation from Jerusalem.
The talks will be held more than an
hour's drive from Washington in the
Catoctin Mountains at Camp David to
keep them as serious and " quiet" as
possible, press secretary Jody Powell
said.
Sheehan defends
accompHshments
By Nancy Holdren
Missourian sports writer
Speculation throughout Missouri is
that Mel Sheehan will be fired as the
University's athletic director, but the
talk doesn't have Sheehan quaking.
Sheehan feels his record of ac-complishments
since he took the job
speaks louder than the gripes of those
calling for his dismissal. And in a Jan.
16 letter to Chancellor Herbert
Schooling, Sheehan defended the job he
has done at Missouri since 1972.
" Let everyone look at the bottom
line," Sheehan said Saturday following
publication of portions of the letter he
had written to Schooling.
In the letter, Sheehan listed 19 of his
accomplishments since being hired by
the University. " An intercollegiate
athletic program which can be self
supporting, maintain academic ex-cellence
in the classroom and a strong
competitiveness in all respective sports
continues to be our major objectives,"
Sheehan wrote.
He then listed " some of the indicators
of how well these objectives are being
met." Among his " indicators" were:
the maintenance of M. U.' s " proud
heritage" in athletics, his ability to
competently fill administrative and
managerial positions, the athletic
department's growing budget
($ 4,600,000 quadrupling that of 1960- 61- ),
the overall balance of the sports
program at M. U., and the improvement
in M. U.' s athletic facilities.
He also wrote that " staff morale,
except in a few instances, is good." He
cited the move of athletic offices from
Brewer Fieldhouse to the Hearnes
Center as one factor in declining staff
morale. " This transition was none too
smooth," he wrote. " Staff members
were less than pleased with some of the
arrangements they experienced and
very disappointed with the change in
status from owner- operat- or to that of
tenant. This is a situation that has not
improved much through the ears."
He also said that the wish of
Schooling and former University
President C. Brice Ratchford to see
that the athletic staff conform to
University policies and prevent staff
members from taking advantage of
their positions " have provided some
very difficult moments. Although I
believe we are now within total con-formity
of your desired goals in these
